Image attachments: security check failed?
« on: June 19, 2025, 09:44:19 pm »
Does anyone know why some images cannot be uploaded and get the error "Your attachment has failed security checks and cannot be uploaded. Please consult the forum administrator."?  I tried to attach 3 images to a post yesterday and got that error.  I thought it was something with the wifi where I was at, so I tried again today.  No dice - still got the same error.  Why am I getting it, and is there anything I can do to fix it?  The images comply with the stated file size limitations, so I don't know what else it could be.

They're .jpg, though my camera leaves the extension all caps.

The images comply with the stated file size limitations, so I don't know what else it could be.

Are you sure that the total size of all 3 didn't go beyond 768kb?  That's all I can think of.
